About this event

35th annual free global-music festival anchored at the DIA and spanning Midtown cultural institutions — strong Detroit soul, jazz, and Diaspora programming across five days.

35 years free — one of the country's longest-running global-music festivals, and the Detroit soul/jazz programming is why it still matters.

Good for

jazz + soul fans, Detroit locals, festival hoppers, museum-district explorers

Need to know

Free but donations encouraged. Multi-venue — grab the DIA schedule and plan your walk. Weeknight sets often the best-kept secret.
